OEDIPUS: .

But why? If I’m their son—Merope, Polybus?

MESSENGER:

Polybus was nothing to you, that’s why, not in blood.

OEDIPUS:

What are you saying—Po!ybus was not my father?

MESSENGER:

No more than I am. He and I are equals.

OEDIPUS:

My father—

how can my father equal nothing? You’re nothing to me!

MESSENGER:

Neither was he, no more your father than I am.

OEDIPUS:

Then why did he call me his son?

MESSENGER:

You were a gift,

years ago—know for a fact he took you

from my hands.
